About Jessie Ware

Jessie Ware's 'wildest moments' are yet to come. That's guaranteed for this 30-year-old English singer-songwriter who has been compared to some of the biggest names in music.

If you've heard of Sade, Caron Wheeler, Adele and Tracy Thorn, know that Ware has been grouped among them as one of the most talented vocalists to come out of the U.K. And it's not like this native of South London hasn't proved herself. She's done background vocals for Man Like Me and Jack Peñate, and also memorably took the lead on RackNRuin's "Soundclash."

By the end of 2010, Ware had issued "Nervous," a collaboration with SBTRKT. In 20011 came the release "Valentine," a duet with vocalist/producer Sampha. That was followed by two appearances on SBTRKT's self-titled album, and on the title track on dubstep producer Joker's 4AD debut. She also closed out the year with another single, "Strangest Feeling," that was described by critics as 'emotionally wrenching.'

Like a runaway train, Ware just kept pumping out music. She collaborated with Okumu and Julio Bashmore for her first release of 2012, "Running." The album "Devotion" followed in August, debuting at number five in the U.K. while being shortlisted for the 2012 Mercury Prize. In 2014, after extensive touring, she also released the singles "Tough Love" and "Say You Love Me," a collaboration with Ed Sheeran. The album "Tough Love" then rolled out in October.
